Waterfall model:
Waterfall model concerns with the sequential completion of the stages in software development life cycle. Software development life cycle includes requirement analysis, design, implementation and testing stages. Each stage is completed separately.
The approach of waterfall model states that each stage in the software development life cycle must be completed before the beginning of the next stage. It requires the flow of activities in a sequential order and a stage is initiated only after successful completion of the previous stage.
Incremental and iterative paradigm:
Incremental and iterative paradigm is a combination of both incremental paradigm and iterative paradigm.
Incremental approach uses a partial implementation of the whole system. It is a combination of one or several waterfall models. It includes the requirement analysis, design, implementation, and testing stages to be performed on the incremental basis until the successful completion of software. It adds some new functionality in each small increment. Iterative paradigm uses addition of new functionality in a repetitive manner.
Incremental and iterative paradigm develops the software in small increments and in iterative or repetitive cycles.
